Hi everyone

I changed the wand, removed the backflow valve and same issue so leads me to believe something in the hose is limiting the flow.

When I turn the wand to spray there is not enough flow to sustain it and it goes back to the stream thing.

The hose is actually two hoses with one of those oval connector things connecting the two hoses.

The water supply under the sink is fully turned on both hot and cold.

This is the only tap in the house with a flow issue.

It is a kindred faucet like this one -

Hoping you have some ideas.

Thanks in advance

That's just a weight to keep the handspray pulled into the faucet body.

I would unthread the aerator and clean that. You can remove the wand from the hose, and check how much flow is there. If you're getting plenty, it's the aerator.

Sometimes I've seen bits of rubber from the hot side shutoff flow downstream and clog the internal portions of the kitchen faucets.
Removing the supply line to the faucet underneath, what does that look like?

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
